there used to be some lady in Portland who would call any late night KBOO DJ every time there was any kind of earthquake - however small- in the Pacific ocean and would insist they announce it and warn of a possible tsunami.

Once a P.S. 108 our teacher put on 'Chicken Fat" as a supposed exercise record, telling us to actually follow the instructions. I knew the tune & tried to tell her otherwise. To this day I don't know whether she was the victim of a joke, or making a deadpan joke herself.

Knew it was "Chicken Fat" from the first notes! When I was in elementary school I knew this by heart. Yeah, I think it was definitely used in lieu of the teacher actually giving us an exercise program.

my mother was a music teacher for a long time and always said that germans invented rap.. apparently there was a popular form of music back in like.. im going to say the 1800s.. where they did spoken word/no instrumentals and would make songs with fast rhyme schemes.. I never heard any examples of this stuff.. and something tells me my mom doesn't really get it..

Oh, Ken! I always forget to ask you this: Did you know Leibach played in North Korea while you were away in your road trip through the USA?! I believe it was the first time a western band played over there. Good choice, mr Kim!

I dont buy it Ken - You (and more than likely Andy Breckman) must have enticed the Mark E Smith with something to have you write this song for WFMU. And my ears thank you for that bribery…Well Done Ken!
